Of the dominions OF His Majesty the King of
Denmark. than are or shall be payable on
the like articles, being the produce or manu-
facture Of any foreign country
The Court decides against the importers,
and holds that the treaty with Denmark does
not bind the United States to extend to that
country without compensation privileges
which they have conceded to the Hawaiian
Islands in exchange for valuable CONCESSIONS
jim other words, that 'the most favored
nation clause of treaties is no obstacle to
the making of reciprocity treaties.
Secretary Bayard, then in the Senate,
used to the utmost his influence in that body
to defeat or delay action on the Cuban treaty.
When he became Secretary OF State he mis-
led the President into withdrawing the treaty.
Mr.. Bayard is a free trader, and it is one OF
the stupidities of some free traders that they
viii not have anything except universal free
trade. Half a loaf is to these philosophers
worse than no bread. Free trade with Cuba
was abominable in their eyes. The late MI.
Morrison, another free trade philosopher
during three years, session after session oppos-
ed and defeated the legislation necessary to
carry into effect the reciprocity treaty with
Mexico: and, by the way, it was about his
onlysuccess in the House during all that time.
The fact is that the free traders, so called,
have done more han the protectlonlsts, Tor
some years past, to prevent American manu-
f~acturers from proftabY trading with the
outside world. Mr.. Bayard turned up his
nose at the Cuban trade but the Canadians,
less toploftical, are making q treaty with
Spain to give them the very trade privileges
which Mr.. Bayard and other free traders
scorned for our own people. AS to Mexico,
which Mr.. Morrison thought beneath his
notice, Great Britain is using the opportuni-
tv which the free trade leader in the House
persistently refused our own merchants and
manufacturers. The English and herman
have possessed themselves of the commerce
with Mexico which our free traders desplse
and reject, and, as friendship goes with
British capital and influence are
carrying the day in Mexico against us. The
Mexican Mint is to be handed over to a Lon
don syndicate, and branches of the Bank OF
London, Mexico and South America are to
be established in every State of the Repub-
lie. The Chicago Herald, from which we take
this statement, rightly says
After millions of American capital and Thousands of Anne;
rtcan citizens have entered MexicO-after both money and
health have been rfsked-iti is q pity that . rival English speak.
ing nation, thousands Of miles further OF, should step liz and
gather the harvest as the field is white. Our people have
. hundred other products Of industry to sell.
Yes, and they have Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois,
and his free trade followers in the House to
thank that they cannot sell their products to
the people who are our neighbors.-NeW

Before Magistrate Scott.

On Saturday evening last Magistrate A.
j. Scott gave a hearing at the sheriti'S Of
fee to Evan Holland and Noah Wilson,
both colored. Wilson was charged with
riotous conduct in shooting AT Holland on
Sunday, March oh, and Holland was
char ged with riotous conduct and drunken
ness on the same day. The inability of
Balitf h ing to arrest Holland, who, ii is
said, had been hiding until after the Grand
Jury had concluded their laborS, at an
earlier date, was the cause of the delay in
bringing the offenders to Justice. 1t was
only after large number of witnesses had
been heard and considerable time spent
that the truth of the matter was laid bare
so the justice could render his decision.
The main facts OF the matter We're published
in The WING at the time. The magisi rate
and the states attorney decided not to hold
either of the accused persons for Court.
They were fined So and costs making it cost
them $1,000 each. Wilson gave security for
the payment of the fine on Saturday night
and was released. Holland was confined in
Jail until Monday when he paid his fine and
was liberated.

Good Rifle Shooting.

Several mem bers of the Groome Guards
practiced rifle shooting on Wednesday aft
srnoon at Meridith's meadow. The sho ting
was done in "a standing position at 800 yds
follows:
Lieut.. Geo. Il. Ash, ) = ) 4 > > > : -
Sergt. VIM. Meise, + , . ) > > j-:}7
Corp. &. y Alexander 3 . , > > > t 80
These scores are the more credirable when
it is remembered that ordinary army rifles
with seven pound pull, We're used. Pre-
vious TO Wednesday none of the rihrnen
had succeeded in scoring 30 points They
having each scored that number, which is
InitreG to shoot at 800 yards, they will soon
try the longer range. The official record
shows that in the average Of all the TRIALS
Lieut. Ash leads, with Sergt. Meisel II good
second. In the six practicings that the tw"
above named have engaged together, the
former has made 1863 points and the latter
1877. A low score of the Strgeanu's when
the Lieutenant did not shoot reduces the
formers average somewhat. Sergt Meisel's
score of 81 out of a possible 30 on Wednes-
day is considered very good. 1t is not fair
to compare These scores with that of CITY
ritiemen who have improved rifles, wind
gauges and all the latest improved appur-
tenanCeS.

We uoticed in last weeks Wine an

a statement i'll regard to the public
schools of oar county, from Rev. John
Squier, of the school board. We do not
that any one doubts the truth of Mr.
Squier's report, nor do We think that any
lay the blame for the early closing OF
public schools on the School Board If
the Board have not the money they can
not 80 on with The work. But why is
the money not appropriated? Can we
not borrow the money Tor this work as
well as for other works far less useful to
OR people than the school. What is
more value to us today than the educa-
uou ct our children? Are there any that
can afford to raise their children without
a com non school education We believe
that We echo the voice of the people
Wien We say give us the schools
first, then if there is any thing i'll
the county to be neglected let it
be something of less Importance to
the people. We heartily agree with

the unequal distribution of the public
school TAX and We believe it will arouse

justice with which Cecil county is treated
